Gauchos Galore

Driving north from Caviahue to Chos Malal we felt we were very much in Argentine Gaucho country.  Around every bend, we came across another herd of sheep / goats / cows / horses being shepherded along the road, presumably to market or a more tasty field.  These weren’t short drives either.  The Gauchos were accompanied by pack horses and, having camped overnight, we would pass them again the next day.  These were clearly multi-day cattle drives for them. Not an easy life, but they always smiled and returned our waves.
